If you wasn't sure about the same-sex marriage cases across the country, Lambda Legal got you covered. They have a page dedicated to every case out there.
Here's the intro:
Marriage equality now exists in 17 states and the District of Columbia: CA, CT, DC, DE, HI, IA, IL, MA, MD, ME, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, RI, VT, and WA. In addition, approximately 1,000 same-sex couples married in UT following the district court ruling that the state’s marriage ban was unconstitutional before that order was stayed and more than 300 same-sex couples married in MI following the district court ruling that that state’s marriage ban was unconstitutional before that order was stayed. In TN, the district court’s ruling requiring recognition of the marriages of the three plaintiff couples remains in effect. In other cases in which state marriage laws have been ruled unconstitutional, the rulings have been stayed pending appeal (in KY, OK, TX, and VA). In addition, comprehensive civil unions or domestic partnerships (but not the right to marriage for all) now exist in CO, NV, and OR, and limited domestic partnerships (but not marriage) now exist in WI.Check it out here
